I am perfectly ok with android apps being required to be signed by not just a certificate (they always were just it could be self signed and just needed to match to upgrade without removing data) but a list of trusted entities.

As long as:

• I can install my own key on my phone (I'd I am trusted)
• major distributors like fdroid and have a key installed without friction (like web CAs)
• Google let's me mark their key as untrusted (I probably won't but I should be able to refuse things they trust (at install time, not disabling preloaded apps like settings)

Without this it feels too much extending the monopoly despite being forced to allow 3rd party stores.

To be fair AU means more to me than miles or km in this case.. 168 times further from us than we are to the sun.

But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.

It's a symptom of the winner takes all election system.. Its most stable with one or two major parties. The hope for more parties is one reason some of us push for instant runoff elections, but it "confuses" people so its not had the traction I'd like.

That's not vibe coding.. Its vibe testing..

Coffee grows on Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and recently in a little bit in CA (to add to water problems)

But Labor + limited amounts means it won't be cheaper

Im confused about (from the poll)

• bar.. if this is not walkable you are promoting drunk driving. (even if its not your thing)
• what do you need to walk to the gas station for? or is this being used also as a corner store?

Well no human looked at it while coding, no human looked at it while testing, so should be good as long as no user is a human looking at it..

80% of the time I do this with the button that revokes all other privileges too: "uninstall"

While I've found uses for local LLMs (ie I host) and even the bigger chat bots:

I feel the gen "AI" everywhere is just an excuse to collect data since they always use the online models.. And if you are either not paying or paying api rates (per token.. Or usually million token rate) it's basically being provided significantly below cost.

Even before today's news of Biden stepping down, I feel the public party infighting about him/trump/ect instead of getting anything of substance into the news stream is an indication the current democratic party is over. As in effectively not a party.

Thus to add to AOC's comment: A very bad time for this as our system has two semi stable states... 2 party rule.. Or one party rule. (Sure outside groups/parties can and do help mold the main parties to their actual policy goals, but and if are popular enough get merged in or replace a main party)

This means can a new party grow out of the ashes of current one and actually organize in time for the election. (Obviously this "new" party gets to use the name/infrastructure of the one I'm calling over so may just look from the outside a shuffle of administration if fast.. And it needs to be fast)

And while I was happy to vote for Biden, and now presumably Harris, the lack of strength I see from Democrats on policy very much concerns me. (Not even it needs to be as far left as many on here seem to want it but it must be functional.. So those more left can debate actual policy.. Not that issues even exist.. Or ignoring it all together)

One sliver of hope is this can be used to pivot the talking points back on track.. But given the media climate I am not hopeful.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term "Genocide Joe":

• it doesn't put enough fault on Netanyahu
• its an in group term, if you are in the group you know what it means, if not its either has no meaning, or is taken too literally/incorrectly.
• The middle east is a mess, we make it worse in every attempt to improve it, but some of those religiously using this phrase I don't think want peace, just wish a different group was winning. This is a small subset of those using the phrase, but seem to be driving the political outcome by an oversized amount.

See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.

And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure.. I'd say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.

See now it's saving 20 million /s

Coffee is also not a been.. So it's just soy been broth with coffee and vanilla.

As I expected from the initial hype.

Let's just realize that these are not what make a good unique game:

• Minecraft but better
• Minecraft but not Java

Many games of course have minecraft like elements, that work, they just do try to be their own things:

• FortressCraft Evolved: Voxel factory game with tower defence elements
• Colony Survival: Voxel building game where you protect and grow a colony

Moving away from games with Voxel building for those that "want better graphics" you have games like

• Valheim - build/adventure.
• ARK: Survival Evolved - build/adventure/poop jokes (sorry never got into the game the let's play poop jokes got old for me)

Also might add there are minecraft aspects to the 2d games, but most have unique gameplay as well

Factorio Stardew Valley Terraria - I really should like this.. But every time I try it I don't

None of these are "Minecraft killers" because while they may allow for some sandbox play they are unique games. Same for some others I see in this thread.

Sure you have Luanti as well if you want to make a highly modded minecraft like, or just other voxel game to play test, and maybe prove why its better. But it never tried to replace minecraft.

Sorry, you will get big changes voting for Trump. becasue too much is already in place to make those types of changes happen. I dont agree with these changes, but to say they are the "same" is a dangerous opinion.

The person at the top is needed to green light policy.. those lower down present such policy.. While this can seem boring it is important, since while by definition the president will be at the center of their party. If the party you vote for is most interested in vetoing everything of the other party.. even if they agree with the law in general, there is no progress.

Of course you must do more than just vote for the least bad president to make the change happen.. However if you can't at least do that you own the results os the OP said.

I dont understand.. the string cheese packages are more than one portion? (i mean of course im only going to have 2.. and another 2 in 5mins.. [repeat until none left])

Many EU countries have freedom to roam laws to allow access accross undeveloped private property, this includes as you said camping as long as you leave the land as found.

In the US i know of no state allowing such, and the ability of the person traversing the land to sue the owner means the default is no treasspassing signs everywhere. this isnt to say if you were unsure if the land was private and there is no sign/indicator of tresspassing you coulding walk through but that isnt strictly giving you the right to access the land

in western States quite a bit of land is federally owned and behaves more like right to roam, this has made odd cases there is a cheker board patern between two federal land areas and private property and what to do when a hunter says steps over the corner of the private properties between the two public access areas.

You can, at that will cause the same output on the same input if there is no variation in floating point rounding errors. (True if the same code is running but easy when optimizing to hit a round up/down and if the tokens are very close the output will diverge)

The point the people (or llm arguing against llms) miss is the world is not deterministic, humans are not deterministic (at least in a practical way at the human scale). And if a system is you should indeed not use an llm.. Its powere is how it provides answers with messy data.. If you need repeatability make a scripts / code ect.

(Note I do think if the output is for human use it's important a human validate its useful.. The llms can help brainstorm, can with some tests manage a surprising amount of code, but if you don't validate and test the code it will be slop and maybe work for one test but not for a generic user.

I think there needs to be proof given when you accuse people of ai slop, this is not to say it's not a slop mime of course it is: it's I think people tend to forget why AI slop is not so great: the average person it trained on is not that great.

Now sure if you find a Loading artist with the frames the same we know what it was lifted from vs it just being a mimic of style, sure AI or not we could say it's a bit too close in style to be a independent derivative.

But let's be real you were not going to ever be paid for some off the top random meme the question is should op have bothered posting.. Honestly likely not.

At least so far Samsung is letting me disable Gemini, as I try to do to any bloatware I don't want running in the background.
